However, whichever way the tide tu-ns after the appointment has been made and the turmoil ended, eacH one of the defeated candidates, as well as their friends, will have the satis faction of knowing that they put up a strong fight for the place and had the fortunate candidate guessing up until the very last minute. I IS AFTER LIGHTHOUSE STATION DELEGATION FROM THAT PLACE WANTS A HEAR ING. Southport, Dec. v'lU Telegrams have been sent to Senators Simmons and Overman, and Congressman Godwin in regard to having a delcga tion from Southport a hearing in regard to the lighthouse station of the Sixth District, which, is to be moved from an island near Charleston, S. C, to some other point. Southport people believe thw is the ideal place for the Government to locate its station. Southport is right at the ocean and then there is rail road connection with the outside world. It is felt here that if real genuine merit counts in the location of the new station it will come to Southport. - The station here would it is said, not only be of direct benefit to Southport people but also to the whole people of North Carolina. New enterprises here hasten the day when boat lines will make this port, un loading huge cargoes for the interior and lessening freight charges to the whole of the State. It is expected that the Secretary of the- Navy will say a good word for his native State and Southport, Wilmington people are expected to make a pull for South- port, for with the steady progress of both : Wilmington and Southport, the two will one day ' join hands up the Cape Fear and be one.

"Pi IN FULL" WAS PRESENTED LAST T NEW BERN THEATRE-GOERS PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCTION. "P,iid in Full" was p.eseiued at the Masonic theatre last night, and thoM who witnessed the performance were wt-!l pleased. "Paid in Full" is a problemat ical play which attracts the audience from the rise of the curtain until the climax in the last act. The characters are everyday men and women and the series of complications and dilemmas which entwine around them are of such a nature that one wonders what will be the next move. The play ends rather abruptly but the author had evidently thought well over the finale and could not have originated a more fitting end than that which takes place at the close of the fourth act. Miss Eiley Connor, an actress with marked ability, handled the leading role and her work was superb. The other members of the cast capably handled their parts and received much commendation.

' v PARENTSIGAUSE GIRLS DOWNFALL Neglect Their Daughters And hey Take "The Wrong Road." INVESTIGATION AT PITTSBURG Probers Say But Few Women Can Be Re- tS L formed. Pittsburgh, Dec. 11 The Morals Efficiency Commission, in a report to day to the City Council summarizing its investigation of the social evil in Pittsburgh, states that parental neglect is the principal cause of gi-ls going wrong, and that from sixteen to eight een is the dangerous aie for girls Most of the women that came under observation were single. There were 84 widows and 119 women had been separated from their husbands. Out of 558 women, 406 had never had any chil dren, and there were only five who had had three or more. Of 2o0 women, both parents were dead, and only S7 had both parents living. Two came from woilihy families, 10 were well-to-do, 152 were in moderate circumstances, and the parents of 254 were poor. Married men, the commis sion assects, make up a very large pro portion of the frequenters of the red light district. "Nor doesthechurch," it is added, "appear as any. restraining influence. There were found 272 Protestants, 188 Catholics, 67 Jewesses, one Dunkard, one Spiritualist, .One Freethinker and one agnostic. They come from all walks of life. There were l.?5 daughters of laborers, 70 of farmers. 2' of miners, 21 of clerks, etc. There were three daughters of saloonkeepers, three of policemen, two of hot el keepers, one of a rabbi and one of a birtender. Underlying all other causes, the commission says, was, per haps, a predisposition, and .SO per cent, were feeble minded, born with defec tive intelligence in. I shift less ten dencies. "Five years," says the report, "is a long average tenure of life for these women; then they go into the human wreckage of the gutter and the hospital until the Angel of Death spreads his pitying wings over their misery and shame." Only 1 18 out of 518 of the women had been in a house of ill-fame over five years. The number of these women who can be reformed, the commission s.ivs, is very small, so small that out of over 500 investigated not more thin 20 have quit. Committal to an indusiri.il re formatory is suggested as the only rav of hope. Less than 2(1 per cent, have anv bank account at all, and those who save merely do so, as a rule, to provide fo regular holiday escapades of extrav agance. The commission urges extermination of the evil, along with better housing, cheaper living and good family life, adding: "Along with legislative and adminis trative efforts in this direct'on, we should have educational movements to inculcate a saner philosophy of life. Not, indeed, the ort of education which, by prolonging the period of young men's dependency (without re gard to their mental qualifications or the needs of the community) to nearly the thirtieth year, causes marriage to be deferred and encourages prostitu tion, but the sort of education that makes young men self-supporting in honest industries, makes them pro ducers instead of parasites, teaches young women the neglected domestic vocations and the forgotten virtue of economy, teaches them that true hap piness is in the simple life and the love of home. Church and school and press the three great educational agencies of our time have all neglected their duty in this regard. Pastors are true shepherds no' longer; educators have stimulated the overcrowding k of the so-called learned professions which tend to ex- ploit the producers;- newspapers, by - catering to silly sentiment and parading the extravagances of the imbecile , rich, stir up imitative envy and foster foolish ideals..
